Drinking, smoking, and quitting

Published: June, 2008

Helping people with alcohol dependency quit smoking.

Anyone who's attended an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting knows
instinctively what research confirms: people who are dependent on
alcohol are also likely to smoke cigarettes. Depending on the
cohort, anywhere from 35% to 95% of alcohol-dependent adults
smoke cigarettes, compared with 21% of adults in the U.S.
population.

Many experts believe that it's important to counsel people who
are alcohol-dependent to give up smoking as well as drinking.
First, most evidence indicates that giving up both habits will
increase the chances of someone remaining sober. Second, it's
better for overall health.

Don't shy away from chocolate

Some kinds of chocolate contain high amounts of flavonols. (White chocolate isn't one of them.) These antioxidants may help control blood pressure and fight cognitive decline. Don't go overboard, though. An ounce of dark chocolate has 155 calories.
